pozbaird Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Always enjoy my visits to Falkirk. As an aside, we only ever talk about the game, never the playing surface. The FFC surface never really gets in the way of the game itself. Is there any reason why the surface there is decent, but Accies and Killie are a pile of shite....

Obviously, as a Dunfermline fan, I wouldn't condone any sort of skullduggery. Very harsh to hear Hartley described as a rodent.

I watched Killie game on Sportscene and it had an awful bounce on it and when played on the deck had that feel of a bumpy pitch. I think ours has quite a natural bounce of that of s grass pitch and has a natural path when played on deck, I think its to do with ours having longer artificial strands of grass and perhaps the foundations its laid on. My biggest fear is that if or when go to relay the pitch, we end up with one worse than we have as I've yet to see one as good as ours. Ps I didn't want artificial in first place but no complaints in it from me, I'm sure if I was a Queens, Killie or Hamilton fan, I'd not be as happy with the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 7 hours ago, Coventry Saint said: Falkirk can't finish anywhere other than 8th. St Mirren can't finish anywhere other than 1st, rendering this game as the deadest of dead rubbers. Still, sporting integrity must be upheld and the fixture list must be fulfilled. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of changes to the Saints team, just as we did last Tuesday. Morgan can still finish as the top scorer in the league, but I suspect he might not get on the park, having had his big ovation on Saturday. I'd tip a Falkirk win, but I suspect Hartley might be trying a few fringe players as well. Gentlemen's 0-0, then. This game May be meaningless and both teams have reasons to play the players fans forgot were stealing wages but I will console myself that we aren't pish enough to lose 10 goals in a game against a side from the same league.

Erm, we really don’t have anyone this season who any right-minded St Mirren fan would deem a wage thief. If Falkirk do, you’ll know better than me, but keep us out of it.

I might be being a bit simplistic here, but I think it's because we genuinely got a state-of-the-art, best in the world pitch. I could not possibly comment on the other teams' parks.

It is a different make up and manufacturer to those at Hamilton, Killie and QOS.Having said that I think it is starting to show its age. Not as good as when it first went in when Holt was the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anyone heard whether we’ll give an inaugural outing to next season’s strip on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I didn't know this about Alex Smith. He was a poor manager at United but a lovely guy and well respected in the game. R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CEO stated they'll go on sale in June. In recent years they've often been available at the end of the season, so if they won't be sold for at least another month then it's reasonable to assume that Puma are delivering them later this year. That would explain why there was no unveiling at the Gala Awards last night. So I would say it's a safe bet that we'll be playing in the old strip this weekend.

New strips are for the new season. (Selling them to punters before the summer is fine though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a huge turnover of players coming I think it is sensible to hold off and have the strips modelled by new signings. Certainly that is what I would do if I wanted the biggest impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an experienced retail professional now heavily involved in the club shop I'm not sure we'd go down that route. Particularly when you consider that many of the new clothing lines are being advertised as a graphic, if you know what I mean; i.e. they're not being worn by models.

We dont have a great record wearing a new strip afore its available also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
